Qn Tuesday, Jo Rae Perkins won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Oregon. The Oregon GOP says it will back her candidacy notwithstanding her associations with the “QAnon” movement. That’s a mistake. Perkins is an unreconstructed exponent of a batty and corrosive conspiracy theory running a longshot campaign that carries only political downside for Republicans. They should do what they can to distance themselves from her candidacy.
For the others, Here are you're talking points. From the National Review.
If National Review hates her, she must be GOoooOOOddd.
Oregon ping
Bingo.
Well she’s not my kind of nut. I don’t live on Oregon. But if I did I’d have to vote 3rd party or do a write in. Q Anon is certified pure 100% bat feces. Anyone who subscribes is mentally unfit for any position of public trust. This modern day fetish for conspiracy theories, no matter how bleeping crazy, that seems to have infested the conservative movement is a more serious pestilence than COVID 19.
It does seem to be going a bit world wide.
They should just change the name to Globalist Review and be done with it.
If she’s an improvement over the current office holder she should be supported.
Well. Two in this household voted for her, and will again.
Good Question, I looked it up on wikipedia. Democratic incumbent Senator Jeff Merkley
2020 U.S. Senate election
Perkins entered the Oregon Republican Senate primary on January 17, 2020, saying she was inspired by what she described as Senator Jeff Merkley’s focus on “sham impeachment trials.”[6] In a discussion with Right Wing Watch in January, Perkins described her belief in QAnon as an important feature of her campaign and “a very, highly calculated risk.”[13][14] Between entering the race and March 2020, Perkins raised over $25,000 in publicly declared campaign funds, with many donations on WinRed, the official Republican National Convention- and Trump-supported fundraising platform.[14]
Perkins won the primary on May 19, 2020, and will oppose the Democratic incumbent Senator Jeff Merkley in November for the general election. She finished with nearly fifty percent of the vote, well ahead of her three challengers. During Perkin’s victory speech, she repeatedly invoked a catchphrase associated with QAnon and expressed appreciation for the QAnon supporters whom she met during her campaign.[15][16] In a victory video that was subsequently deleted, Perkins said, “I stand with President Trump. I stand with Q and the team. Thank you Anons, and thank you patriots. And together, we can save our republic.”[17] In an interview with Oregon Public Broadcasting a few days after the video was taken down, Perkins said she had removed the video under advice from a campaign consultant, that she regretted the removal, and that she continues to view the QAnon forums as one source of information among many that she values.[18]
Will the National Review disavow any Democrat who believed the batty and corrosive conspiracy theory of Russian Collusion?
If National Review hates her, she must be GOoooOOOddd.
Amen!
She is better than a DEM.
I feel like that was the best choice!
What are some of Q Anon’s conspiracy theories?
This is who she is fighting.

It’s Oregon.. are her odds of winning any better than that of a garden snail successfully crossing I-5 at rush hour?
